What’s the most underrated movie you’ve ever watched? Like national boundaries, racial identifiers and DSM categories subtitles are social constructs experienced as barriers that can be deconstructed. This French film is about perception and how it can inhibit or free us to inhabit each moment in community or isolation. How did The Sense of WonderContinue reading “The Sense of Wonder”

To Be Guided By Hunger & Humility
I find myself at a crossroads between patterns and the prophetic. As a 1st Year student at Bethel School of Supernatural Ministry, I’m responding to the Life Application section in an early chapter of Kris Vallotton’s Basic Training [Manual] for the Prophetic Ministry. Bristling with something akin to frustration that’s more likely stretch marks, IContinue reading “To Be Guided By Hunger & Humility”

And contemplating the Examen for a New Year
It’s Not About You. Until It Is.
So I’m in a web-class listening to someone I trust having ‘met’ him online two days ago. I trust him because his online “elevator pitch” is not only the shortest one I’ve seen, but perfectly timed to launch my dream (and yours) right now. I’ve attended other training courses on many topics before. During theContinue reading “It’s Not About You. Until It Is.”
Spoliers, Alert!
So is my life’s work “getting to the point” after teaching others to do so for three decades? This question alone took more than 15 minutes to get to and itself was interrupted by, “No!!! Don’t drag your butt across the carpet!” This is perhaps all our work – not getting lost in the detailsContinue reading “Spoliers, Alert!”
We Don’t Tell Stories As They Are…
“We tell them as we are.” I’d not heard this variation before. I’d always heard Anais Nin quoted thusly: We don’t see the world as it is but as we are. Anais Nin And I’d treasured its inescapable truth as a compass through life’s trials. Until the pandemic. Rather until 10 months into a globalContinue reading “We Don’t Tell Stories As They Are…”

Flash Fiction Challenge
A Seattle writers group offered simple guidelines to the Las Vegas InterNations membership – write 250 words or less using the phrase “look over my shoulder”. One fist under the pillow, the other clutching the sheet above her head, Elle was not a member of the impartial mothers’ club as she clearly preferred the micro-massageContinue reading “Flash Fiction Challenge”
Dear Jesus
Was it the relationship or clamoring masses that drove you to the wilderness and mountaintop to pray? I suspect it was either your hard-wiring or both. My urgency is cloaked in the distractions of ubiquitous clutter, a pre-schooler’s needs, and snarling dogs competing for my attention. To read a single chapter of the Bible IContinue reading “Dear Jesus”
